Sophisticated Giving Spotlight: The Fit and Food Connection
The Mission: The Fit and Food Connection offers people living in food and fitness deserts access to free nutritious food, physical activities, educational workshops, and personal coaching to encourage and support healthy living.
Sophisticated Details: The Fit and Food Connection provides free holistic wellness offerings (good nutrition, physical exercise, how to reduce stress, how to sleep better, and how to think more positively) to St. Louis’ underserved communities. Fit and Food is passionate about helping people to feel healthier as well as bringing our community together.
Sophisticated Goals: Fit and Food is hoping to get every family off of its waiting list, and improve the hybrid wellness class model which it has tested and will accommodate everyone in person and virtually, so Fit and Food can continue to meet clients wherever they are at. With the financial and mental aftermath of COVID, Fit and Food has more people than ever who need its services, and its hope is to turn no one away.
Sophisticated Connections: Fit and Food’s wellness services directly impact all families and individuals throughout St. Louis’ underserved communities. Its reach includes but is not limited to new and expectant black mothers, seniors, families with small children, and seniors with disabilities fighting food insecurity and lacking access to affordable healthy food and accessible fitness options.
